To all whom it may 0mm citizen ofthe United States, residing 3 at Minneapolis, in the countyofHennepin and State of Minnesota, have inventednew andusefulv Improvements in Cooking Vessels,- of, which the following in a specification. ,7

This invention relates to cooking vessels and has for its object the provisionfof nested foraminous containers adapted for, diSPOST".

tion within a kettle containing any desired liquid whereby article's, placed in the fo raminous container may be cooked while the danger of sticking to the sides. or bottom thereof will be prevented.

An important object isthe provision of a" device. of this character comprlslng 1n ltS I preferred form, outer an'dinner foraminous containers, the outer one of :which is pro; vided with supporting legs and which'may be used alone, and the inneroneof which'is adapted to be supported within the outer, container and is of'much finer mesh where-Y by to permit the cooking therein of grains or the like which would :pass through the mesh of the outer. I

An additional object is simple and inexpensive in -manufacture,-

which will be easy to use, which c'onsists'of only two parts and which is therefore'not likely to get out of order, which' will be efficient and durable in use, and Tageneral 1 provement in the art. p I

With the above and other objects andfadvantages in view, the invention 'consistsfin' the details of construction to be hereinafter" more fully described and claimed,andil-[ lustrated in the accompanying drawings, in

tion of my device, a p p Fig. 4 is a bottom plan view thereof, and

Fig. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view showing the two sectlonsassembled. 1

- Referring more particularly tothe drawings, the numeral 10 designates the outer seo- I tion of my device which lis formed as-j a, cylinderv body "of suitable wire meshfrein-, forced at its outer edge by ahoop 1110f wire. The bottom 12 is also'formed ofj'wire mesh I From. the foregoing description and a and is suitably secured to'the bod'yQasby theprovision of: a device of this character which will be' elevation, showing the Y I I v v -ffportiongof this outer section are legs,each* Be it known that ClILLm HARRINGTON, -a

-This outer section adapted tocontain fvegetables, meats, orcthe likewhich are to be s cooked,- and' such articles are disposed "withinthis section and the section disposed within asuitable kettle containing water,

milk, broth, or the like, in which it isde-' sired to cook'theartioles. Any kettle, sauce pan, boiler or other vessel may be used in sake of illustration I have shown in Fig. 1

a sectional view 'of'a sauce pan A within which my device "may be disposed. The

the kettle mayha've free access to the ma- ,terials being cooked; so as to prevent any possibility of sticking and so that all portionsof the articles being cooked will be properly acted upon.

my device are readily separable to facilitate" cleaning so that the device will be oughly sanitary. I

While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is of courseto be understood that I reserve the right to make such changes in the form,

thorconstruction, and arrangement of parts as Will notdepart from the spirit of the 1nvention or the scope of the subjoined claims.

Having thus described my invention, I claim .1. A device of the character described comprising an outer cylindrical container formed of wire mesh and provided with supporting feet, and a removable inner container slidably disposed within said outer container and formed of wire mesh of finer screen than said outer containerl 2. A device of the character described comprising an outer foraminous container provided with supporting legs, and a removable inner container slidably disposed within said outer container and formed of finer foraminous material than said outer container, a reinforcing band at the upper edge of said inner container and having for-"med thereon an outwardly extending flange seating upon the top of said outer container, anda plurality of strips secured externally upon said inner container and extending across the bottom thereof in intersecting relation.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
